BEHIND THE CLOUD

Chapter 18 — All Seems Lost

Retaliation peaks. The syndicate frames her for sabotage after the market flood; Jax’s channel gets forcibly shut down, reports pulled offline. Her isolation intensifies—townspeople blame her for every inconvenience, police drive past the house hourly.

Evacuation orders fail, roads choke with water, and her request for outside mediation is ignored. Amara is left alone in the dim light of the data center at the weather station, the hum and pulse of the machines now an accusation rather than comfort.

She stares at the kill-switch schematic, at her mother’s journal open beside it, thunder skittering along the walls.

In the dark, her worst trauma surges back: the echo of the childhood storm, the moment the world spun out of control, the unthinkable grief that shaped her—weighing her down and, perhaps, preparing her for this moment.
